Ch. 1201..1205: The Secretly Rich Man Chapter 1201-1205
Chapter 1201
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1201 It was akin to Gerald wearing a bulletproof vest. While having it on allowed Gerald to remain unharmed, other parties wouldn’t be able to get close to him, resulting in them feeling hurt. Though the other party’s problem could be solved should that vest be penetrated, once that happened, Gerald would surely be the one getting hurt next.
It was the reason why he had always hidden his emotions deep inside his heart. He believed that time was the best medicine to cure rancor, and after a long period, everything would simply fade away.
Shaking the thoughts off, Gerald then changed the topic by asking, “I see… What about my buddy, Xeno? How’s he doing?”
“Back when I returned to have my revenge against Jett, I remember that the Moldells had snatched up most of Mayberry’s economic lifeline. While I do know that Yoel ended up getting tortured to the point where he became a beggar, I only heard news about Xeno’s automobile trade not doing too well back then. Sadly, I didn’t have the time or energy to be concerned with too many things at the time!” added Gerald.
“Ah, yes. I wanted to talk about that too. Back then, Jett had been extremely hostile toward any capital or connections involved with you. Of course, Xeno was no exception. Not only was his company ruined by Jett, but that b*stard had even hired people to assassinate him! Thankfully, Xeno is quite smart, so he managed to bring his fiancée along and escape before Jett could murder him. Regardless, once Jett was dealt with, I returned to Mayberry and began getting things right again. Alas, when it came to Xeno, even after asking around everywhere, I found no traces of where he could have possibly gone to, even till this day!” replied Zack with a sigh.
“…I see. It seems that many problems still remain from that incident back then…” replied Gerald as he found himself speechless.
Soon after, the helicopter arrived at Mayberry. As soon as Gerald was within the city’s borders, the jade charm—that he had been holding onto—began vibrating, making a tiny ‘buzzing’ sound.
As it turned out, Master Ghost’s prediction had once more been extremely accurate. The Zirkobsite stone truly was in Mayberry!
In order to find the specific location of the stone, however, he still needed to look for another girl with a strong yin physique. According to what Mr. Ghost had said, the other person could be found in Mayberry.
Gerald was well aware that time was ticking as well. It wasn’t going to be long before the middle of the month arrived, and should he fail to accomplish his task before then, he knew he wouldn’t be able to hide his scent from her for much longer, even with the blood.
Should that scenario happen, Queena would surely hunt him down immediately, causing all the work he had done in the previous days to be rendered useless. With that in mind, Gerald didn’t dare delay it anymore.
“Speaking of which, I’ll be laying low once I return to Mayberry due to certain reasons. Regardless, you and the others should just behave like you normally would!” said Gerald as he looked at Zack.
Just like how he had located Cundrie, Gerald would need to look everywhere in order to find the other person with a strong yin physique. He was also well aware that he wouldn’t be able to find said person just by relying on others.
“Also, which area within Mayberry is usually most crowded by women?” inquired Gerald.
“Well, if it’s a place filled with girls, the university is definitely your best bet. Actually, now that you’ve asked me that, there may be an even better option. You see, there’s currently a function at Wayfair Mountain Entertainment. Felicity and many other celebrities are shooting a film there. As a result, many
women—from all over the world—constantly flock around that area to watch them shoot their scenes! If it’s a place with lots of women you want, then Wayfair Mountain Entertainment is the perfect place to go!”
“Excellent!”
With that, the helicopter then sped up and flew directly toward Wayfair Mountain Entertainment. To attract even more women there, Gerald was well aware that getting more celebrities would definitely do the trick. With that in mind, he then told Zack to begin contacting handsome and effeminate men to come over to Wayfair Mountain Entertainment.
To make sure that the celebrities would drop whatever they were doing and come over immediately, Gerald also promised that they would be paid ten times more than they usually would.
Naturally, that did the trick and soon after, the entire city began getting crowded with fans from all over the world.
Once there were enough women around, Gerald began slowly strolling up and down Wayfair Mountain Entertainment, making sure to scan through the women carefully to see if any of them had particularly strong yin physiques. However, to his disappointment, even when noon came, he still couldn’t sense anyone suitable at all!
At long last, Gerald found himself walking over to the area behind the mountain, where a few of the cast and crew currently were. By the looks of it, they had just completed their shooting and were ready to get off work.
It wasn’t long before an extremely beautiful woman caught Gerald’s attention, and when he saw her, he couldn’t help but break into a smile.
The woman in question was none other than Felicity.
From what Gerald had heard, after Felicity had become famous enough, she ended up starring in two relatively successful dramas. Not only that, but she was also active on screen.
Regardless, now that she had gotten off work, Gerald noticed that she was wearing headphones as others instantly began serving her…
Chapter 1202
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1202 The ones serving Felicity continued following her as they began heading over to a private room within Wayfair Mountain Entertainment.
“Felicity!” shouted Gerald, though only a few extras seemed to have heard his shout.
Turning to look at him, one of the extras then shouted back, “Hey, now! Lots of people come to see Felicity every day you know! Who do you even think you are? Go line up properly like the rest of them!”
Hearing that, Gerald couldn’t help but shake his head with a bitter smile. He had only tried to catch up to her since he was feeling slightly touched to be able to meet up again with such an old acquaintance of his.
Meanwhile, Felicity’s manager was carrying a stack of what seemed to be scripts as she said, “This here is a script written by an internet writer who goes by the name of ‘Two Ears is Bodhi’, Miss Nelson! It’s about a loser who rises up to fame the moment he becomes a rich heir! I’ve already contacted him through Line, and I wonder if you’d be interested to have a look at it.”
Taking a peek at the scripts, Felicity simply pouted before replying, “Just forget it for now and toss it aside! I really don’t have the time or energy to pay attention to it at the moment! I just want to get a good rest for a while!”
Following that, Felicity entered her room, and the manager—who couldn’t really say much after hearing that—simply left.
Upon closing the door behind her, Felicity found herself heaving a long sigh. While development that year had gone by rapidly and she had finally managed to achieve her life-long wish, Felicity still felt like there was something lacking in her life…
No matter how much she gained, she simply couldn’t feel happy for some reason…
Regardless, she was just about to remove her makeup and take a bath when suddenly, she caught a whiff of cigarette smoke in her room. Felicity, for one, never smoked, which was why the scent was so evident to her.
At that moment, the doors of the closet in her room burst open, and out stepped a big-bellied, bald, middle-aged man who was wearing a suit and a pair of leather shoes.
Laughing lasciviously, the nicotine stains on his teeth were clear as day.
“You… Chairman Zabka!” shouted Felicity as she instantly began taking a few steps back.
The one who was currently standing before her went by the name of Chairman Zabka. While he was her sponsor, he had constantly given her strange looks before this. Now that he was daring enough to hide in her room, Felicity could easily tell what exactly it was that he wanted from her.
Now already close to the door, Felicity immediately ran over to it to make her escape. Alas, Chairman Zabka was faster than her!
Grabbing onto her arm, Chairman Zabka barely gave any time for Felicity to scream as he quickly stuffed Felicity’s mouth with a white cloth!
Though she did attempt to struggle free, Felicity soon felt her body growing weaker and weaker.
“I’m sure you’ve long known about my feelings for you, Felicity… Yet why did you keep avoiding me? I’ve yearned for you for nights on end, you know? I really can’t take it anymore!” said Chairman Zabka
as he tossed Felicity onto the bed.
“N-no…!” replied the enfeebled Felicity as she continued trying to struggle to no avail.
“Worry not, I’ll video what we’re about to do next in extreme detail… As long as you listen obediently to me and serve me well, I won’t post the video on the net! If you don’t… Well, let’s just say you’re going to be getting even more famous! Hahaha!” warned Chairman Zabka before laughing lasciviously.
Everything had been perfectly planned. Not only had he waited in Felicity’s closet for a long time just to do this, but he had also ordered someone to set up shooting equipment in her room!
Knowing that nothing could stop him now, Chairman Zabka then began undressing rather menacingly.
He had just taken his pants off when he heard someone shout, “Make a pose, Chairman Zabka!”
“Of course!” replied Zabka out of habit as he instantly turned around to pose.
Soon enough, however, his eyes began widening as his body quivered in place.
“…Who… Who the hell are you? How did you even get in here?”

Chapter 1204
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1204 Even so, knowing about all this now was a little too late for Desmond.
Grabbing him by the neck, Gerald then lifted Desmond—till his feet couldn’t touch the ground—before tossing him out the room! Naturally, the bodyguards from before quickly took care of him from that point onward.
With that done, Gerald slid an incense stick out of his sleeve, lit it, and began letting Felicity breathe in its scent.
As Gerald did so, he recalled how all this had begun in the first place. Just as he was about to knock on Felicity’s door earlier, he had heard odd noises coming from inside.
It didn’t take long for him to realize what was happening inside, and though his murderous intent immediately fired up at that moment, Gerald quickly calmed himself down. After all, he was well aware that he couldn’t act too recklessly now that he had returned to Mayberry.
It was the reason why he had quickly formulated the events that had just taken place.
Regardless, Felicity soon found herself feeling much better after smelling Gerald’s incense. The moment the feebleness was gone, she immediately sat up excitedly and embraced Gerald before saying, “T-thank god you were here, Gerald! I… I was so scared just now…”
Quite honestly, Felicity was terrified with the thought that this was all just a dream. That when she eventually woke up, the person she had yearned for, for so long would disappear…
“Everything’s fine now… Also, you’re already a great celebrity, aren’t you? How could you be so careless and not have a few bodyguards with you at all times?” replied Gerald with a slightly bitter smile.
“Well, since Chairman Lyle and many others have always taken care of me, I had the assumption that nobody would actually try to frame me… I admit, I was way too naïve! But enough about me! When… When did you come back, Gerald? Naomi and I went looking for you the second we heard that you had disappeared, you know? And that eventually led to…”
Felicity’s sentence slowly trailed off, seemingly remembering something frightening…
“…There’s no need to go into detail about that. It’s all in the past now. What matters is that we’re safe and sound now. Isn’t that nice!” replied Gerald as he looked at her with a subtle smile.
“…Yeah… Speaking of which, Gerald… Did you return to Mayberry just to see me…?” asked Felicity in a softened tone.
Even though she knew that the answer was still probably going to be no, the touched girl still felt the urge to ask that question. After all, who knows, there could be a chance that it truly was the case.
“…Somewhat,” replied Gerald, which was the truth.
While he had wanted to meet up with her sooner or later, he hadn’t returned to Mayberry just to see her. His main objective was still to find another girl with a strong yin physique, after all. Besides, he was also planning to visit his other old acquaintances.
Regardless, he of all people knew better than to use ambiguous words to coax her.
Hearing that, a hint of disappointment could be seen on Felicity’s face as she said, “…I see! Regardless, I’m glad to see that you’re safe and sound!”
“…Speaking of which, how’s Naomi been, recently? I know you’ve been busy shooting a film here in Mayberry, but have you contacted her at all while you were here?” asked Gerald.
“Naomi? Oh, we’ve been in touch quite recently, actually. We had to use the school she was teaching in to shoot a few scenes, you see. The director even allowed a few students in her class to act with us! Still, though I did consider asking Naomi to stay by my side, I refrained after hearing how much she was enjoying her job now. Speaking of which, I’m sure you’ve already guessed it by now, but she’s already a teacher, you know? She’s even bought a house for her and her mother near the school!” explained Felicity.
“I’m aware of that much,” replied Gerald with a nod.
“That’s good to know! Still, I wonder if you’re aware of the troubles she’s currently facing… Though it’s only been two days, she’s refused to go out to have lunch with me, saying that she was busy. While that may not sound like much, she had previously always agreed to my lunch invitations! When I asked her what the problem was, she simply remained silent and sulky!” said Felicity as she smoothened her hair before pouring a glass of water for Gerald.
“…Oh? Is that so? I’ll go meet up with her first then. Meanwhile, you should get the rest you deserve. You know, I plan to return to Mayberry University tomorrow. If you’re interested, we could head there together!”
“O-of course!” replied Felicity, overjoyed.
After hearing how sulky Naomi had recently been, Gerald immediately thought of paying her a visit as well. The fact that she was staying close to a school also made it possible for him to kill two birds with one stone. He still needed to look for another woman with a strong yin physique, after all, and where better to find a crowd of women than a school. What a perfect coincidence!
With that in mind, Gerald then left Wayfair Mountain Entertainment in his Lamborghini to meet up with Naomi…
Chapter 1205
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1205 Mayberry First High School was the name of the school Naomi was currently teaching in. It was also where she was living close to.
After getting the directions from Felicity, Gerald found himself arriving at the front gates of a small neighborhood that looked like it was still pretty new.
By sheer coincidence, he also saw Naomi—who had a few groceries in her arms—there! However, a woman and a man seemed to be talking to her as the trio walked further into the neighborhood. The man himself had a notebook and pen in hand, seemingly recording details whenever Noami spoke.
From that alone, Gerald could deduce that the two of them were police officers dressed in regular clothing.
‘What on earth could have happened…?’ Gerald thought to himself as he continued watching them inquire Naomi about something.
As he kept a safe distance from the trio in his car, Gerald made sure to constantly be on the lookout for any women with particularly strong yin physiques.
Before long, Gerald watched as the two police officers shook hands with Naomi—seemingly done questioning her—before driving off in the direction of Mayberry First High School which wasn’t located too far away.
Naomi herself seemed to look quite disappointed as she continued carrying the ingredients back to her home.
Looking at her now, Gerald thought about how it had been almost over a year since he had last bumped into her. Though she still retained her long hair and fair skin, Naomi was now a teacher and Gerald could sense an intellectual charm—as well as greater maturity—from her that hadn’t been present the last time they met.
Now that she was alone again, Gerald drove close to her before pressing his horn slightly.
Hearing that, Naomi turned to look at the luxurious-looking car that was currently slowly tailing her.
As a hint of impatience flashed across her eyes, Naomi simply began quickening her pace. She utterly hated these kinds of playboy rich heirs who assumed that they were greater than others simply because they had more wealth.
‘How disgusting!’
Seeing her reaction, Gerald couldn’t help but laugh as he continued following her. At some point, Gerald overtook the girl before stopping his car in front of her.
Hearing him honk his car again, Naomi faced her back against the car before scowling, “Are you mad? Get lost already!”
Since such a luxurious-looking car was present, it was natural for those around the neighborhood to get drawn to the scene. In fact, several women were already walking closer to snap pictures of the car.
Though the rest were in awe, Naomi wasn’t the least impressed with the individual driving the car. Quite frankly, the only thing the driver was doing right, was raising her temper!
Rolling down the car window, Gerald looked at Naomi with a smile before asking, “Now, now, is there a need for such a bad temper?”
Upon hearing that familiar voice, Naomi suddenly began trembling all over. That voice… It made her doubt for a second whether she was truly awake or just dreaming all this. Feeling her heart clench, Naomi thought to herself, ‘Could… Could I have just heard wrongly…?’
Slowly turning around to see for herself, Naomi found herself loosening her grip and dropping all the groceries she had in hand! Though the girl hadn’t cried in the longest time, she was now ready to bawl her heart out.
She had missed Gerald dearly every single day from the moment he had left her a year and a half ago… Constantly yearning to hear his familiar voice again, she oftentimes found herself recalling the times when she had first met Gerald back in university. Due to him being a nice person with a kind heart, she had already developed a crush on him, all the way back then. What more, there was just a special charm to him.
Though the others in the university had never been able to stand Gerald back then, Naomi had always found him to be quite brilliant. She was able to see all his good points within him without being biased about how poor he was back then.
Quite honestly, she still regretted not making a move on him back then. If the two of them had become a couple from the very beginning, maybe she wouldn’t have to be filled with the pain of missing him now.
Shaking the thoughts off, the now red-eyed Naomi said, “…G-Gerald…? Is that… really you…?”
Stepping out of the car, he then smiled while looking at her before replying, “Who else could I be?”
Hearing that, Naomi wasn’t able to hold herself back any longer. Rushing over to him, she immediately wrapped her arms around him…
